In a grand gesture of gratitude and generosity, Taylor Swift has reportedly handed hefty bonuses to all involved in her sold-out Eras Tour. This touching act not only includes the dancers but extends to riggers, sound technicians, caterers, truck drivers, and every member of her massive production team.
Swift, known for her lyrical ingenuity and deep connection with fans, is now filling in blank spaces in her crew’s paychecks as she prepares to conclude her U.S. leg of the Eras Tour. The pop sensation has distributed incredible bonuses to all who played a pivotal role in making the tour a resounding success. Swift’s truck drivers alone received an astonishing “end of the tour” bonus of $100,000 each, amounting to a total of $5 million, according to TMZ.
And yet, this figure is only the tip of the iceberg. As People magazine reveals, Swift spent more than $55 million in total to ensure that her crew enjoyed a significant payday boost. This act of kindness has only solidified her reputation as one of the most considerate figures in the entertainment industry.
Swift’s Eras Tour has been a phenomenal success, selling out all six shows at the 70,240-seat SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif. With a total gross revenue estimated at $300 million, according to Pollstar, it’s clear that Swift’s magic has not waned but rather grown stronger.
Having hit the road in March, her concert series marked her first tour since 2018’s Reputation Stadium Tour. The expansive 44-song opening show in Glendale, Ariz., showcased hits from all 10 eras of the singer’s illustrious career, including tracks from her 2022 album, Midnights.
The Eras Tour not only celebrated Swift’s musical journey but also saw the release of re-recorded versions of her classic albums, including 2010’s Speak Now. The tour extended its reach across Mexico, Brazil, Japan, Australia, Singapore, Poland, Austria, and more.
Her latest tour also became a gathering place for celebrity guests both in the audience and onstage. Swift even reunited with ex-boyfriend Taylor Lautner at a July 7 show, where he starred in her “I Can See You” music video. Their friendship and mutual respect are a testament to Swift’s character, both as an artist and a person.
With sold-out shows, record-breaking revenue, and the overwhelming love of fans around the globe, Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour will undoubtedly go down in history as a triumphant celebration of music and unity. Her gesture of generosity is a beautiful encore that resonates with the values of gratitude and kindness that are so often sung in her songs.
